This fully revised and updated edition of Norman McCord's
authoritative introduction to nineteenth century British history
has been extended to cover the period up to the outbreak of the
First World War in 1914.
The nineteenth and early twentieth century saw the transformation
of Britain from a predominantly rural to a largely urban society
with an economy based upon manufacturing, finance, and trade, and
from a society governed mainly by a landed aristocracy to what was
increasingly a mass democracy. The authors chart the development of
a modern state equipped with a large and expanding bureaucracy, the
expansion of overseas territories into one of the world's greatest
empires, and changes in religion, social attitudes, and
culture.
The book divides the era into four chronological periods, with
chapters on the political background, administrative development,
and social, economic, and cultural changes in each period.
Exploring major themes such as the massive increase in population,
the question of class, the scope of state activity, and the
development of consumerism, leisure, and entertainment, and
including a select bibliography and biographical appendix, this
updated new edition provides the ultimate introduction to British
history between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the outbreak of
the First World War.
